Many believed that Roden would be getting a ton of playing time with the Twins since they traded away so many players at the deadline but if continues to play this way, they will not have a choice but to send him to the minors.
The good news is that Roden is still very young and has a lot of potential but with his struggles in Toronto followed by the struggles he is currently having in Minnesota, things do not look good.
